All that you wanted to know but didn't know who to ask.

India can save the world or so the scientists
at Bee Jay Pee Research laboratories would have us believe. They have stumbled upon a breakthrough that
will fetch them a tsunami of accolades.
China will feel like a cretin, CERN will turn a beetroot red and
Pakistan will sulk and go green. Finally
India will be every neighbour’s envy.
Speculations are rife that the research team is now a strong contender
for the Nobel Prize. Not just one, but
all categories. Like a true blockbuster
it is strongly backed by fiction, has sizzling chemistry and can usher in world
peace. This hitherto unknown
headquarter of the geniuses which is on a headline grabbing spree, is located
in Tikamgarh, an unsung hamlet of a Middling State. The scientist community is abuzz with excitement. It’s not every day that a third class research
centre manages to produce such first class results.
Imagine coming up with a mother of magic
potions that is an answer to all your miseries! And what’s commendable is that
they did not even have to seek out Harry Potter’s help! Liberal quantities of it can insulate you
from nuclear radiations. All you have to
do is coat the walls of your house with this brown goo and voila you can say
bye-bye to all your fears of apocalypse.
Its application can prevent C- section and ensure normal deliveries for
women. It is still not clear how and
where it should be applied. This magic
potion found in abundance in India, can be picked straight off the roads and
fresh samples can be procured from bovine behinds. Yep...I am talking about the humble cow dung.
Hold your Bullshit please, there’s more to
come!
For all of you who find cow dung too icky, you
can always turn to the cow next door for bovine comfort.
According to Bhartiya Gauvansh Sanrakshan Va Samvardhan (BGS&S) only cow can
save mankind: just touching a cow can
stabilize blood pressure! BJP Rajya
Sabha MP Meghraj Jain has gone a step ahead and extolled humanity to leave
themselves at the mercy of the cow. “To escape death just touch a cow”. Shankar Lal, chief of Akhil Bhartiya Gauseva
has asserted that children who drink only Hindu cow’s milk become more
obedient. Foreign breeds only give
poisoned milk and can cause heart attacks and autism. Glugging a glass of gai ka doodh everyday can
turn you into model citizens.
Sri Sri Snow Varma even went on to suggest
that Cow piss is rich in Vitamin Eww.
Results are still awaited.
So impressed is China with our Cow-theory
that they have decided to rename Macau to Maa-cow.
Hospitals have ditched their expensive
equipment and sent their Doctors on a permanent vacation. All they need is a herd of cows to waive off
our medical ailments. Touch wood is so
passé now that touch cow is here. Scientists
at CERN are so heartbroken that they have ditched their quest for God particles
and are now studying bovine movements. A
bunch of them were spotted in Haridwar, chasing an alarmed looking cow with a
bowl in hand.
But after the suggestion that drinking
cow’s milk leads us to commit fewer crimes authorities at Tihar are a worried
lot. Will Tihar soon turn into a retreat
for errant politicians? Imagine a nation
of hale and hearty citizens who commit no crimes and spend their spare time
attending satsangs!
But Doodhwallahs nationwide will not let
our country go to dogs. They have been taking appropriate measures to ensure we
never get to drink pure milk. Thanks to
their enterprise we consume milk fortified with detergents, fat and even urea. I am proud to say, we in India drink adult-rated milk!
And thanks to the concerted efforts of Bee
Jay Pee laboratories, India is shining again.
Nothing gives me more pleasure to know that I am part of a nation that
loves its animals so passionately. Only
in India we value cows (and its excretions) more than humans and have stringent
laws for their safety. Even world famous
in India Dhanush, owes his success to holy cow. It was his rendition oh my lovvu/
you showed me bouv-u/cow-u cow-u holi cow-u that made us loose our senses and exclaim once more…once more!
It pays to be cattle class in this country.
And why just cattle! We love our haathis so
much that we spend crores covering them with pink. Only in Maya’s own country will you find an
elephant in purdah.
Now I am having serious doubts about my
lowly human existence. I work hard,
think too much, stress, cry, become sick with worry and spend sleepless nights
pondering upon the purpose of my existence.
Am I doing enough, am I wasting my time? Am I a good mother? Have I
failed as a wife? Is my writing good enough? I am sick and tired of these
thoughts.
What’s worse, I have more duties than
rights. I watch helplessly as I see our
polity give precedence to their self interest over the nation’s. Yet I cannot express my disenchantment on
social networks lest big Daddy Sibal sends me to jail.
I seek a life where I just have to think
about my next meal and not worry about a bank balance...Where I can plonk
myself in the middle of the road and swat flies with my tail...Have a bunch of
uneducated buffoons trying to convince the world of my importance...
In my next birth I want be a desi cow. God! Are
you listening?
The properties of 'Gou Mutra'was long back publicized by our late PM Morarji Desai, unfortunately there were few takers! Holy Cow is object of politics just like Elephant!
ReplyDeleteHate it when religion is used as a stick to beat others.
Deletei have heard this bull before. some magazine. what ppl done seem to realize is why arnt we a AIDS and cancer free nation of its so effective?
ReplyDeleteand oh yes #moooooo
This is based on a news report published by Indian Express this week. Given the link below.
DeleteHa ha ha ....
ReplyDeleteAs usual, howlarious it is, with a bit of anger, n why not, the kind on non-sense we as Indian citizens tolerate, does that also have something to do with the cow association ! ! !
Humour is the best way to cope up with anger.
DeleteGaahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteMACAU and MAA-COW
And Vitamin EWW indeed :D
You write awesomely well!
Thanks a lot :))
DeleteHoly Shit! Hehehe....The wicked witch of Gurgaon at her wicked best. :D
ReplyDeleteRemember the Asterix comics and that Getafix used to add a secret ingredient to the potion? Plus there are other potions with a secret Ingredient marked "X"? And that the Martians were mysteriously defeated in The War of The Worlds? Yup...now we have the answers to all these questions. The answer from the biggest to the smallest question of life and the universe is with the Horny...sorry....Holy Animal.
The secret of the magic potion that made Obelix and Asterix invincible now revealed :D
DeleteAhh..you got threaded comments. This is much better. Now we can harass you even more in the comments section. :P
Deletehmm, when there are people "quacking" around like this, real scientist can go and hang themselves!
ReplyDeleteRight said Bhavana! And this cock and bull theory has the full support of the Madhya Pradesh Government.
DeleteI'll sleep a proud Indian tonight.
ReplyDelete:|
No Aakash, we need to tell them to go to hell!
DeletePurba, Why loose heart! Did you not read George Orwell's classic 'Animal Farm'where he lamented..ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS!So why compare with likes of holy cows, Maya etc :)A lovely satire!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this is just propaganda engineered by a party that is desperate to come back to power!
DeleteFunny!! We have more people who believe in alternative science....
ReplyDeleteFundamentalism at it's glorious best.
DeleteQuick correction to your prayer is required. You should be born as Indian cow. You don,t get treated the same way in foreign countries. BTW, I am sure you don,t want to be born as a cow in Finland. ;)
ReplyDeleteI fell down laughing at maa cow and vitamin eew.
Yep..I wouldn't want to end up someone's plate as Filet mignon :p
DeleteI strongly agree with Farida. But having no knowledge of your geographical choice constrains me from saying 'Amen'.
ReplyDeleteAnd it has been rectified.
DeleteIf Uma Bharti is the Next CM of UP then there is nothing more fortunate than being born as a cow in our next births. Even if the cow milk is adulterated with urea and chemicals....
ReplyDeleteWhich era are they living in? I mean the Bee Jayy PEEEEE
And now they want to make Gita compulsory for students in Karnataka. Hate it when religion is used to browbeat other communities.
DeleteBut Purba, no one says anything when religion is used in schools run by other communities. Why this aversion only to Hindu scriptures?
DeleteWhy just Gita, why not other religious scriptures? And who will teach Gita to these school students? Does the Karnataka Government even have a plan?
DeleteAnd a government more in news for it's lang grabbing ways, wants to tell us what to read? How about following what they preach!
DeletePerhaps the Divine Hand has take action on your 'secret aversion' for our Hindu wisdom of worshipping the Gaumata!
Bharat has become the largest exporter of beef in the world!Who knows very soon all of us may become more sickular than you with just your 'musings!'
I liked the way you use illustrations/pics in your posts. Learned a lot visiting your page. Thanks.
ReplyDeletecow piss and bull shit,
ReplyDeletepurba blogs and danush songs,
if uma bharthi was a cow,
i still wouldnt touch her,
Even with tongs....
Uma Bharti!!Thankfully no one calls Ms Bharti the sexy sanyasin anymore :) Now she's just a headache.
Deleteha ha ...lots of Vitamin Eww for the mind :-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these people (err research)get takers...the biggest misfortune of our country.
We should treat them as a bunch of buffoons trying to drag the nation down.
DeleteI can't stop laughing. Vitamin Eww takes the cake, oops no no not the bovine type :P
ReplyDeleteThese so called upholders of our religion should start taking Vitamin Ewww :D
DeleteWell said. Perhaps now being COW-ard may not be much of a shame :).
ReplyDeleteHahaha! These Cowboys need a reality check.
Deletehehehehehe.. rofl... c't stop laughing..!!! well written..!!!! thnx 4 d awesome start for the day..!!
ReplyDeleteSO glad you liked :)
Delete:)
DeleteDo visit my blog as well m'am.. hope u wil like it..:)
now none will ever use the phase: why to cry over the spilled milk .. if used will be considered offensive...
ReplyDeleteam so addicted to your blogs now :-)
Damn! where is the like button :D
DeleteMay God give cow the strength to bear the weight of freaking frailty of human assumptions, amen!
ReplyDeleteClimbing a mountain is easier than locating your webisite!
Deletehe he he .. QUCIK hold on .. let me call my village .. make sure they feed the cows well .. you never know BEE JAY PEE might make it national thing to touch cows I can charge some money to touch them ,, and be RICH that way :)
ReplyDeletewhat an idea and that you for giving it to me ..
as always lovely article and here it goes HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HO HO HO HO :)
Bikram's
Why not issue a decree for our elected - making cow milk compulsory for them!
DeleteAnd Bee Jay Pee should anoint themselves with cow dung to prove their supremacy.
yeah that should be LAW.. once bee jay peee comes to power
DeleteKnew about cock and bull story, never heard about cow-bull (not Kabul) story until this one. Choice of words is awesome and style is fantastic as usual. One small warning.. Prayers are sometimes approved by the supreme... So pl be careful :)
ReplyDeleteYou think God reads my blog?
DeleteOh! yes, The topic is Godly na, he just can't miss it:)
DeleteMacau to Maa cow
ReplyDeleteTouch wood to Touch Cow
And the breakthrough health discovery Vitamin Eww ( results awaited :)
You did it once more Purba!
It's the age of cowgiri :D
Deleteutterly boring post!
ReplyDeleteOMG! who's this tasteless anonymous fellow who's commented above me?..must be Advani, incognito!...Holy COW!..maybe he'll report you to Bee Jay Pee Purba..Touch COW :D
ReplyDeleteI believe he/she is a member of Akkhil Bhartiya Gausava and needs a healthy dose of Vitamin E(ww) :p
DeleteWhat if we all start saying Touch Cow from now onwards. It will be such epic fun!
India is the next name of Jugaad. You know na?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for Kanti Shah to make a movie on this subject.
Deletethat's pretty much your style... :) ironically true... and adding to mayhem are the cows moving randomly on the roads... we should accumulate all cows in a town and make a cow road:P
ReplyDeleteWeakest LINK
If we can have BRT, why not a separate lane for cows? And it should have a grassy patch for them to snack on.
Deleteeven i want to be a cow, always wanted to sit in the middle of the road.
ReplyDeleteloved ur post.
Guffaws...let's file a petition!
Deleteusing religion for political gains is the most reprehensible thing but one which is being used by every party in the country today. I do feel that the minister has gone overboard in his promotion of bovine benefits, but at least the bactericidal properties of cowdung can be actually seen in villages where it is used on walls and floors to keep away harmful insects.
ReplyDeleteBut do you think it is a practical solution for cities? And most cows in cities feed on garbage dumps. (Not that they have a choice) I wonder whether the dung still has any antiseptic properties.
DeletePurba,
ReplyDeleteHope you have taken due precautions against DHARNAA in front of your house by cows led by followers of that research organization. One point is a fact as proved by experiments that dung plaster does reduce nuclear radiation to an extent. This I learnt in a seminar more than 30 years ago when this organization was in infancy.
Take care
But to plaster your walls you need fresh cow dung. Do you think city life permits us to resort to such measures?
DeletePurba,
DeleteWhat was told is that intensity of nuclear radiation was found to decline in deep jungles or in mud huts with dung plastering.
Take care
very a-MOO-sing train of thought.. awesome read!
ReplyDeleteI am sooo tempted to change my blog's name to A-Moo-sing :D
DeleteThat wass so hilarious. Please start some writing classes or something! I can but think of the idyllic existence of those bovine creatures which I probably enjoy once a year on a vacation!
ReplyDeleteI quit teaching because I wanted to be a student again. And you my dear girl, don't need classes.
DeleteAnd you enjoy bovine presence because you get to see it once a year :)
SOOOOOOPERR :-D
ReplyDeleteYeah well politicians have their crazy ideas. I know of people who diligently consume gau mutra or use it for purification of their houses. It is yucky to me but then to each his/her own. Religious beliefs often are such, and Hinduism is closely connected with the holy cow especially for the orthodox!
ReplyDeleteI feel religion is a very personal matter and should not be used as a propaganda that scam tainted ministers exploit to further their interests.
DeleteEh... Morning news. Made my day. Will buy one today, and sell it off after everyone's crazy and there are no more cows. Will make a fortune. :D
ReplyDeleteSo you are going to indulge in Cowgiri?
DeleteCongrats on 200th Post .... keep rocking... :)
ReplyDeleteOh...you noticed? Thank you so much.
DeleteGreat post, firstly I thought you were just joking, then I read the Indian Express article and I was in splits. Is there a limit to acting stupid? No, there is not and the Indian Express article proves it. I liked your Dhanush part too!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it tragic that religion is being used to divide and rule ? This is just another gimmick to appeal to the vote bank.
DeleteThe mere pleasure of reading-the sort that a cow must have in grazing-Lord Chesterfield said that for I dunno COW-N,I say it for your wry sense of humour..Makes me come back asking for more:D
DeleteBut have you noticed how a cow always looks at peace. When it ruminates and gently swats flies with it's tail. Ohhh to live like that :D
DeleteLOL at COW-N..And thank you so much :)
hahaa....wonderfully written.....:))
ReplyDeletei wish some of them go through this write up and take few notes out of these serious points of yours, written in not so serious manner....
Feel humbled, thank you so much for the appreciation.
Deleteholy cow.....that was a mooooo-aah post....hillarious :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow is right :D
DeleteWhat? After having dug up dung(shit)loads of what our dear Bee Jay Pee have been feeding the Hindu cows in diet, you feel insecure about your capabilities?
ReplyDeleteMadam, go and drink down your doubts with a glass of Cow Milk and rejuvenate your life.
Jeeyo Jee bhar ke!
Cheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete
A tumbler of cow milk is all I need to be a Arundhati Roy...err! or maybe not!
DeleteHumorous...Lovely post, lest the cows read your post, Purbhaji...they may apply for patent rights for their poops:P
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful idea you gave to the cow populace! Yep they should patent their dung RIGHT NOW!
DeleteGotta say, this made me so totally rofl.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the cows are reacting to this piece of news?
DeleteThat was a good one.!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteA few days back I read a Malayalam novel, Delhi Gathakal, in which the narrator muses that the cows in Delhi have a better life than many human beings. You're right, it may be better to be born a cow in India than a human being.
ReplyDeleteGreat write.
Great to know that someone has already written about my secret desire.
DeleteLovely blog!! I read the original article as well. This blog allowed me to laugh at the banal stupidity which otherwise would have caused my BP to shoot up like nobody's business.
ReplyDeleteAnd the saddest part it is a propaganda floated by the ruling party. Don't they have better things to do?
Deletethoughtful
ReplyDeletelike the observation
Holy cow! Heck of a post.
ReplyDeleteHahaha..it sure is :)
DeleteYou are a-mazingly a-musing. What a gas! I needed that. Which reminds me, you didn’t mention the methane bombs they set off, doing their bit for global warming. Not that I have anything against cows. I went to the link you provided and read the crap. With 50 districts in MP and each setting aside “one to two crores to feed cattle seized during raids” the mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteAnd we have MP"s opposing the Food Bill in the Parliament. Ironic isn't it?
DeleteA complete laugh riot from the beginning. Cow urine is already being used as after-shave face wash (antiseptic, I think). And you don't believe, I have seen people in Bangalore drinking fresh cow urine direct from the bovine's behind. The way the people run to catch the stream of urine before it touches the ground is a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteYou are are kidding right? Please, please tell me you are making this up! This can't be true! Nahiiiin.....
DeleteIt is True. You can check with your other friends in Bangalore.
DeleteDear God! I just lost my appetite.
DeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteHappens only in India....PM drinking his own urine and acknowledging it
ReplyDeleteYep..we remember Mr Desai for all the wrong reasons.
Deletei love the way you present your sarcasm........ awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked :)
DeleteCow urine is used to cure your weak eyesight. Wash your eyes with it and your eyesight improves (You wont require specks if you have or your number will be reduced). Its true.
ReplyDeleteWoah this weblog is excellent i really like reading your posts. Stay up the great work! You realize, many individuals are searching round for this info, you could help them greatly.
ReplyDeletelove sms
Glad to stumble upon your blog, Purba.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading a few of your old posts.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Would like to catch up on your old postings graduallly.
Best wishes

Hey! Quite entertaining! Reminds me of some stuff I had written on cows sometime back :
